We are told by Brighton and Hove City Council there is a housing crisis in the city.
Why? Anybody who has been in either Whitehawk or Moulsecoomb estates knows the reason.
Why do so many large properties have only two people in them? Children have flown the nest long ago, yet mum and dad live in three, four, five-bedroom houses on their own.
It's about time these places were repossessed and given to families that need them.
As a tenant representative for many years, I can give details on most of these properties in Moulsecoomb.
Surely it is more important to house the people who need housing and not leave the city so badly off.
These properties are needed and should not be left until one or other tenant has died.
-Mr R Rudwick, Birdham Road, East Moulsecoomb
